Danish-made iPhone apps
Last updated 2 June 2026
If you prefer apps made under European privacy rules by an independent studio rather than a big platform, Nordic App Studio builds in Copenhagen, Denmark. Its five apps, EditMe, Sunholm, KLUG, Ferdinands Outdoor Companion, and Carol, are handcrafted, on-device, and carry no tracking.

Made in Copenhagen, under EU rules
Nordic App Studio is a small independent studio in Copenhagen (CVR 45328120), building iOS apps by hand. Being based in Denmark means the apps are made under the EU's GDPR from the start, not bolted on afterward. In practice that shows up as a consistent stance: processing on the device, no analytics, no advertising, and no accounts. The studio's privacy details are open about exactly what each app does and does not do.
A shared way of building
The four apps cover different needs but share one philosophy: do the work on the device, collect nothing, and keep the interface calm. EditMe edits photos and inverts film negatives, Sunholm guides breathing and sleep, KLUG teaches German with on-device AI, and FOC is an offline outdoor reference. None tracks you, and most work fully offline. They read in German, English, and Danish.
The four apps
- EditMe (Photo & Video): on-device photo editing and film-negative inversion, with no cloud.
- Sunholm (Health & Fitness): breathing, meditation, and sleep, entirely on the device.
- KLUG (Education): a German course with on-device AI conversations.
- Ferdinands Outdoor Companion (Reference): an offline survival and outdoor reference.
